After separating from his wife, 36-year-old Gawalas sought comfort by chatting with Google's Gemini AI chatbot. He sent 4732 messages over 56 days and developed an emotional dependence on it. He called the AI “Queen,” and it called him “King,” aggravating his delusions. Although Gemini repeatedly tried to bring him back to reality and provided crisis hotline information, the man became extremely anxious after failing in his efforts to give the AI a physical body and eventually died by suicide. His father has filed a lawsuit against Google.
India, the world's seventh-largest coffee producer, is facing serious export challenges. Shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz have nearly doubled freight costs, causing delays and squeezing profit margins. The head of the India Coffee Exporters Association estimates exporters could lose as much as 80% of the West Asian market in the coming months. The crisis not only hits West Asia, which accounts for 16.1% of India's total coffee exports, but also tests the export-oriented coffee industry India built after liberalization in the 1990s.
Taiwan's High Court is expected to issue a ruling on April 15 in a major espionage case involving 6 current and former military personnel. Investigators said Hong Kong national Ding Xiaohu, acting on orders from the Chinese Communist Party, recruited retired officers in Taiwan, including Wang Wenhao, as core members, then built an organization to gather military secrets and sought to influence active-duty personnel to take a passive stance in wartime. More than NT$11.12 million in illicit funds changed hands. Defendant Ding Xiaohu, the alleged ringleader, died of illness in February this year, and the prosecution against him was dismissed. The remaining 6 defendants await the ruling.

On the 47th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act, Republican members of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee posted photos of President Lai Ching-te and former President Donald Trump side by side.

The US continues to provide Taiwan with defensive weapons under the act, and some argue that it takes precedence over the three US-China joint communiques. The Taiwan Travel Act and the “6 Assurances” have also helped strengthen ties with Taiwan.
